If The Moon Can Be Counted As A Star - Chapter 6

When she entered her room , she took a few more limping steps before choosing to immediately sat down on the left side edge of her bed, there was a first aid kit underneath it. The Game maybe one of those places that help her forget reality but her health was the priority.

Xiao Mei Zhi lowered down her right arm underneath the bed. She roamed her hand as it searched the areas that her hand can reach. There was no kit, so she reached out her hand further under.

In her memory, the first aid kit looks like a suitcase. But what she eventually got and gripped underneath was a mini travel friendly kit, the style was just similar to a wallet.

She opened the kit after placing it on her side of the bed. Now that she did not ignored the injury, the pain rises up, “It does hurt.”

If only she was not clumsy enough.

She grab the mini scissor from the kit. With a pause, she studied it for a brief moment, “I hope I am doing this right.” She put together herself to say it.

Reluctantly she started putting pressure on the wound using her left hand. While her right hand was holding the scissor, she was focus on getting the glass piece out.

She thought the glass piece was small , unfortunately it was a large piece. Even if she put pressure it was hard for her to take it out. The more she struggled on pulling it out, the more pain will add up. It would not be a good idea if she continued. It will just make her injury worse.

“This can not be appearing. . .over again,”

Xiao Mei Zhi took another deep breath, measuring each increase and drop from her chest. She then slightly face the other way, “Guess I have to deal with you later after the game ends,” her eyes glimpse at the direction of the clock that she throwed away, “I only have an hour left before it strikes again.”

Even in pain she pulled her body upwards to her bed, making the first aid kit drop of the floor as she was using her strong hand on grabbing out the dirty pillow case that has her netbook covered by it.

“Pain, you better calm down for twenty minutes. Let me play peacefully.” She said while she got a hand of her netbook and started re-opening the game.

If she only knew that she would get injured,she would not have got on to the game.

[RagingLightSpeed removed the AFK status]

BattleAxeEmpress : “Rage! Run!”

And that was the first thing Xiao Mei Zhi heard when she got loaded into the game successfully. She glanced at the upper, left corner of the in game screen. It was the map that she was looking at.

GunChaser: “We must go to her now! Empress, use your motor! Get her alive!”

Empress’s character moved from the map view, as Xiao Mei Zhi runs on an open field. They were 3.83 kilometers away from each other, 12578 foot to be exact. They have to double up their speed to catch up with each other at one point were both of them are safe.

[Zone shrinking]

GunChaser: Rage!

Xiao Mei Zhi’s character was outside the zone, running. Her life has been reduced every second. The zone continued to keep moving far away from her and Empress was still 5 thousand foot off.

With no other choice Xiao Mei Zhi opened her mic together with the voice changer being activated alongside, “Let me die. There are still five more days to enter another battle. If dying will ruin the record then I must not repeat the same mistake twice. Just revive me.”

No one said anything from her team. They must be surprised that she talked about it.

RoadKillerRifle : “Is that why you almost abandoned us?”

RagingLightSpeed: “I already told you from the start when you teamed up with me. Do not trust what I even said.”

Everyone in the team heard RK scowled. She was not affected by it. They already know what they have to know from the moment she got into the team and made her the leader. Except for the other part of her.

[RagingLightSpeed Died]

Xiao Mei Zhi tapped the in game screen using the cursor while she watched the current environment from the screen. Her team as of now were far away from each other. She assessed the members in preparation to talk,

RagingLightSpeed: “Revive me if you all need me. If not then do not do it.” With an impatient mood coming from her RK bluntly inquired about it,

RoadKillerRifle: “Do you play for the team or do you play this for yourself? If you were interested to get ‘OUR’ team on the list then do not say anything that sounds like we rely on you to much!”

With her current situation, she tried to appear calm as she spoke through the mic, with her deep voice,

RagingLightSpeed: “I play for the team. But its what ever. I do not want to put a fire with fire here. Just end this game.”

She was in no mood to defend herself. Cause RK seems to be right.

RoadKillerRifle and RagingLightSpeed have a history of being foes. RK was not that bad but it had taken weeks for them to settle a deal and agreed to be part of the team. They both learned that with each others skill everything would be set in motion.

However, when she played for the first time with RK on the team, She had to quit playing for awhile because RoadKillerRifle was the third person who triggered her anxiety.

RK told her on their first game, ‘You are not worthy to be here.’

RoadKillerRifle just remained in view of the fact that GunChaser was in the team. He would not have joined in if it was only Empress and a random pick together with her.

Either way, as time goes RK slowly recognized her presence even if it was not totally.
